View the following diagram to familiarize yourself with the


terminology, and dimensions used in this tutorial:

Start by opening Rhino. Use the default template


option: Small Objects — mm.

1. Open a new model in Rhino CAD.

2. Use the option Small Objects — mm.


3. Save your project to the default Rhino as
highshoulder_shank_template.3dm

Organize your project:

1. Create the following layers: Cons


Lines and Ring Shank.

2. Delete any unused layers.


Create the construction lines for the ring size. For this
tutorial we will be using a size 8 ring size with a diameter
of 18.14 mm. Feel free to substitute your appropriate ring
size.

Refer to this ring size chart:

Ring size - Wikipedia


Ring sizes can be measured physically by a paper, plastic or metal ring
sizer (as a gauge) or by measuring the inner…
en.wikipedia.org

1. Go to Front view.

2. Enter the circle command.

3. Center of circle: Input 0. Press enter.

4. Diameter: Input 18.14 (or size-appropriate


diameter). Press enter.

5. The construction circle representing the ring size


will be placed on the workplane.
Create 3 lines for the varying shank thickness (as shown in
the dimensions diagram above).

 Bottom: 2.0 mm

 Sides: 2.25 mm

 Top: 3.0 mm

The bottom depth of the shank does not have to be very


heavy, but structurally sound enough so it does not bend or
break. For the sides, a depth of 2.25 mm is sufficient.

The ring should not be so thick that wearing the ring


becomes uncomfortable. It is also important to remember
that up to 1/10th of the metal will be taken away during the
polishing phase.
1. Ensure Quadrant OSNAP and Ortho are
turned on.

2. Create the line for the bottom of the ring. Enter


the Line command.

3. Start of Line: Snap to the


bottom Quadrant of the circle.

4. End of line: Input 2. Press enter. Draw the


cursor straight down and click on the workplane.

5. Repeat the above process for the Quadrant


Snaps on the right-side and top of the circle.
The End of line value for the right-side will be
2.25 mm, and 3.0 mm for the top.

6. You will now have three construction lines to


build the shape of the ring.
Create an arc to form the base of the shank:

1. Ensure End OSNAP and Ortho are turned on.

2. Go to Curve > Arc > Start, End, Direction.

3. Start of arc: Snap to the bottom End Point of


the construction line on the bottom.

4. End of arc: Snap to the far-right End Point of


the construction line on the right side of the
circle.

5. Direction of arc: Draw the control handle


down parallel to the (red) X-axis and click on the
workplane.

6. A nice smooth arc forming the base of the shank


will be created on the workplane.
Create the arc for the top and shoulder portion of the
shank.

1. Ensure End OSNAP and Ortho are turned on.

2. Go to Curve > Arc > Start, End, Direction.

3. Start of arc: Snap to the far-right End


Point of the construction line on the right side
of the circle.

4. End of arc: Snap to the top End Point of the


construction line at the top of the circle.

5. Direction of arc: Draw the control handle up


until it runs parallel to the (red) X-axis and click
on the workplane.

6. The top portion of the shank construction line


will be formed on the workplane.
Join the two arcs together.

1. Enter the Join command.

2. Select objects for join: Select the two arcs.


Press enter.

3. The two arcs will now be joined into a single


curve.

Turn on the control points for the newly created curve. You
must Move them to ensure the points on the right side are
aligned so there will be no kinks when the surface of the
shank is formed.
1. Ensure Point OSNAP and Ortho are turned
on.

2. Enter the PointsOn command.

3. Select objects for control point display:


Select the curve. Press enter. The control points
for the curve will now be displayed.

4. Create a reference line to move the points


towards. Enter the Line command. Select
the Both Sides option.

5. Middle of Line: Snap to the Point running


along the (red line) X-axis.

6. End of line: Draw the cursor down so the ends


of the line are beyond the top and bottom control
points.

7. The control points are ready to be moved into


place.
Move the control points directly above and below the point
running along the X-axis. Use the Zoom command to
magnify the view of the points as needed.

1. Ensure Ortho, Point and Intersection


OSNAP’s are turned on.
2. Enter the Zoom command.

3. Drag a window to zoom: Draw a window


around one of the control points.

4. Enter the Move command.

5. Select objects to move: Select the control


point you zoomed into. Press enter.

6. Point to move from: Select the point.

7. Point to move to: Draw the cursor to the line


until the Intersection snap appears. The point
will now intersect directly with the construction
line drawn in the above step.

8. Do the same Zoom and Move commands for


the other point.

9. The points are aligned to prevent kinks in the


shape of the ring shank.
Mirror the curves to the other side of the ring:

1. Press the Esc key to turn off the control points,


and delete or hide the vertical reference line.

2. Enter the Mirror command.

3. Start of mirror plane: Input 0. Press enter.

4. End of mirror plane: Draw the cursor straight


up, along the (green) Y-axis. Click on the
workplane.

5. You will now have two copies of the curves. Go


ahead and use Join to form a single closed
curve.
Create a rounded polygon to form the width of the shape
for the surface of the ring. This shape will be formed at the
bottom of the ring. Start by offsetting the construction line
at the bottom.

1. Draw a window select on all curves and shapes


other than the bottom, vertical construction line.
Right click on the workplane select
the Hide option.

2. Go to Right View.

3. Use Zoom to magnify the view of the line.

4. Enter the Offset command.

5. Input 1.25 into the Distance option. Press


enter.
6. Click on the workplane when the perpendicular
target line appears.

7. The middle line will be offset on each side, for a


total distance between the offset lines of 2.5 mm.

Create an ellipse to form the top curve for the shape. These
curves are referred to as a ‘comfort fit’ for ring shanks.

The height of the curves for the next steps can be left to
personal preference on how you want your shape to look.
Ensure that the ellipse on top (created in this step) has a
smaller second axis (height) than the ellipse on the bottom
(next step).
1. Ensure End, Intersection and Near
OSNAP’s and Ortho are turned on.

2. Enter the Ellipse command.

3. Select the Diameter option.

4. Start of first axis: Draw the cursor to the line


on the left. Move downwards slightly from the
top and click when the Near snap appears. Refer
to the diagram below for approximate
placement.

5. End of first axis: Draw the cursor across


straight across to the right line. Click where
the Intersection snap appears.

6. End of second axis: Draw the cursor to the top


of the middle line. Click where the End snap
appears.

7. The first ellipse to form the shape will be formed


on the workplane.
Create the ellipse to form the bottom curve of the shape.
Repeat the steps above to create the ellipse, snapping to
the bottom End snap of the middle line.

In this ellipse, the Start and End of the First ellipse axis
will be closer to the midpoints of the lines. This ellipse
should have a larger second axis (height) than the previous
one.

Refer to the diagram below for the location of each axis


point:
Trim off the extra curves to create the shape.

1. Enter the Trim command.

2. Select cutting objects: Select all objects


except for the middle line. Press enter.

3. Select object to trim: Click to trim off the


‘tails’ of the vertical lines projecting above and
below the ellipse, and ellipse curves projecting
into the middle. Refer to the diagram below.
4. Press enter when complete.

5. Go ahead and Join together the remaining lines and


curves into a single closed curve.

Use the Sweep 2 Rails command to build the final surface


of the ring.
*Note: In step 9, you will adjust the seam point when you
sweep the rails. This is not necessary for this particular
shape, but later if using multiple cross-section curves,
maintaining the same seam point across shapes is good
practice to ensure an optimal outcome.

1. Go to Perspective View and ensure Midpoint


OSNAP is turned on.

2. Right-click on the workplane and select


the Show selected objects option.

3. Select objects to show: Select all the curves


and lines you hid before working on the surface
shape. Press enter.

4. Select the Ring Shank layer.

5. Enter the Sweep 2 command.

6. Select first rail: Select the inner construction


circle of the ring.

7. Select second rail: Select the outer


construction circle of the ring.

8. Select cross section curves: Select the shape


created in the previous step. Press enter.

9. Drag seam point to adjust: Drag the white


arrow to the top Midpoint snap of the cross-
section curve. Press enter.
10. Press enter to accept the defaults for the following
options.

11. The surface of the ring is complete. You have finished


this tutorial!
Be sure to save your work. You will learn how to merge the
ring shank with the basket-setting created in the earlier
tutorials to create a solitaire ring.
